20 Weird But Hilarious Excuses People Have Used To Get Out Of Doing Something

Let's face it. We all make excuses to get out of something every once and a while. Sometimes when you are on the spot and have to think of something fast, those excuses might come out a bit odd or just flat out unbelievable. I decided to do some research and see what are some of the most bazaar excuses people have used. I came across pages and pages of excuses and some of them I thought were absolutely crazy and others I felt like I should write down for later. These are some of the most craziest/hilarious excuses people have used that I have found.

1. "I promised to help Ashley clean the toilet at the same time. She doesn't like doing it alone; she gets nervous that she will fall in! Some kind of toilet phobia(a weird name I can't remember for some reason...)"

2. "I do not usually go out on days that end with the letters "day". Sorry, personal preference."

3. "My hamster needs a good washing! He was playing with the pigs in the mud today. Stupid hamster!"

4. "I have to go to the post office to see if I am still wanted."

5. "I made an appointment with my eyebrow specialist."

6. "Bob was late for school today because his little brother replaced the milk in their cereal to Crazy Glue and Bob’s mouth stuck together and we needed to melt the glue."

7. “I have a bit of a slight problem. I got the end of a Q-tip stuck in my ear and have to go to the ER to get it removed.”

8. "Sorry, I can't get in, I'm stuck under the bed."

9. "I poked myself in the eye while combing my hair."

10. "I tripped over my dog and was knocked unconscious."

11. "I forgot to come back to work after lunch."

12. "I had to ship my grandmother's bones to India."

13. "My cat has the hiccups."

14. "I had to chase my cows back into the field."

15. "A Vaseline truck crashed on the highway and cars were sliding all over the place."

16. "I’m stuck in the blood pressure machine at the grocery store."

17. "My feet and legs fell asleep when I was sitting in the bathroom and when I stood up I broke my ankle."

18. "I just put a casserole in the oven."

19. "I put my uniform in the microwave to dry it and it caught on fire."

20. "My false teeth flew out of the window while I was driving on the highway."

The last excuse on this list was my favorite. After researching and finding all of these, I think I may use some of them once or twice (maybe). But to keep it real, you should just be honest with the person. It won't be as stressful then trying to figure out an excuse like the ones in the list and sound crazy. I know you all have made an excuse for something at least once in your life. Tell me what the worst excuse you have ever given was! Mine was in this list..darn comb.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
